The Geocryptogrammatist's Pocket Compendium of the United States Paperback – December 31, 2001
Beautiful in itself, THE GEOCRYPTOGRAMMATIST'S POCKET COMPENDIUM OF THE UNITED STATES is a limited edition chapbook, a genuine object of art, with each state illustrated by hand with the aid of computer graphics.
Book designer Carrie McWithey chose to compliment visual aspects of the poems with elements or properties of physical entities often associated with the United States--its flag; a U.S. passport; and THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, THE CONSTITUTION, and old maps.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"I've read all these states' haiku a couple times, and will again. Many neat and new surprises each time through." -- William Heyen
"Karl Elder's chapbook is a brilliant map of a fertile imagination . . . water tight, powerful as cryptonite, layered, surprising, and delightful." -- Beth Ann Fennelly
